Loading Paper

This chapter descibes how to load paper, envelopes, thick paper, and transparencies in the printer. To ensure the best performance of your printer, you want to select the best paper and load it correctly.

The wide-carriage capabilities of your printer allow you to load letter- size paper in either portrait or landscape orientation and legal-or ledger- size paper in portrait orientation.

You can stack paper in the sheet feeder to load it automatically, or you can manually feed one sheet at a time. The path that the paper travels through the printer is the same for automatic and manual feeding.

CAUTION: Make sure the width of the paper on which you are printing matches the width defined by your software so there is always paper between the print head and the platen. The print head may be damaged if it prints directly on the platen.

Automatically Feeding Paper

Your printer produces letter-quality print on most plain bond papers, including cotton bond papers and photocopying papers,. This printer does not require special ink-jet papers.
